Rice: War on Terror Is Not War on Islam

In post no. 83 you said in "We do not need a religious war against Islam..."

You're exactly right. As a devout, born-again Christian I understand the Bible verse from II Corinthians 3:17: "Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty." Our founding fathers understood this verse. Our enemies will never understand this.

Our enemies are our enemies because they want to be our enemies -- no matter what religion they are claiming.

SEPTEMBER 11, 2001: "ATTACK ON AMERICA" (UPDATED DAILY.)

Thank you Lord Jesus for our freedom and our liberty which is in you.
Amen.

"As long as the koran advocates killing Jews, Christians and other non-muslims and calls dogs, "UNCLEAN"....ALL ISLAM IS MY ENEMY.

As long as the koran calls on its believers to wipe their behinds with their left hand, Islam is my enemy....

As long as the koran calls murderers of non-muslims, "holy" ... islam is my enemy.

THERE ARE THOUSANDS of reasons why islam is my PERSONAL enemy. However, the majority of the reasons are dead Israelis in Israel and Munich or the enslaved or dead Christians in the Sudan."

..and as long as there is a special place in the "islumic" hell for Christians and Jews juts because they are Christians and Jews, islum is my enemy.

It is a cult based on barbarism, torture and oppression....oh, and don't forget ignorance.

feel free to post away ...

This is the kind of stuff that, deep down, makes me not trustful of the GOP regarding the WOT.

I've also seen Republicans on FR make direct comparisons between conservative Christians and al Qaeda/the Taliban, which only increases the distrust.

To deny that Islam is at the root of the terrorism against the United States and the rest of the free world is to gamble with innocent human lives.

The side of Good is going after the terrorist Islamists and their supporters, not Muslims who wish no harm on us.

But the anger towards their culture is understandable in that the terrorists sprouted up *among* them but little was done to try to stomp them out.

If Islam was truly a "peaceful religion", those who abide by it would have put down the presumed heretics (fanatical Islamists) a long time ago and we would not be engaged in this current conflict.

If Islam was truly a "peaceful religion", Muslims everywhere would be marshalling their own forces to serve justice to their terrorist brethren, instead of conceding such actions to the western world.

If Islam was truly a "peaceful religion", one would not need to wonder whose side his Muslim neighbor is really on.
